Planning application
66 Castellain Road London W9 1EX
Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
1 x Eucalyptus gunnii: crown reduce height by 2-3m, not exceeding 30% of crown volume, including selective shortening of extended upper and lateral branches to appropriate growth points in order to retain a balanced, natural crown form suitable to the species. Remove dead, dying, damaged and crossing branches throughout the crown. Light crown lift to achieve a clearance of approximately 2.5-3 metres above ground level, removing only secondary growth where necessary.
